The world best occurred in the short track men's two miles, where Josh Kerr broke Mo Farah's previous world best with an 8:00.67 clocking. He was led through the mile in 4:03, and stayed behind Grant Fisher until the final stages. Behind him, Fisher set an American best at the distance and various other national records were achieved in the same race.[2]
In the women's two miles, Medina Eisa originally crossed the line first, but she was disqualified for cutting in her lane during the staggered start, so her total distance ran was less than two miles.[3]
